HPE DL365 Gen11 vs Lenovo SR630 V4

A specification-by-specification comparison of the HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen11 and the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4, built from HPE’s and Lenovo’s own documents. 3 headline measures favour the DL365 Gen11, 3 favour the SR630 V4, and they share no processors.

Bottom line. DL365 Gen11 leads on storage density. SR630 V4 leads on virtualisation, databases and in-memory work, AI and acceleration, network throughput. Neither vendor publishes benchmarks for these machines, so every call here is made on what their documents state.

The measures that decide it

Each row is a figure both vendors publish. Bars show the split between the two; a badge marks the larger figure, which is not always the better buy — a shallower chassis or a lower power ceiling can matter more.

02 — Verdict

Which one, and why

Drawn from the measures above and each model’s own data sheet. Neither vendor publishes benchmark results for these servers, so nothing here claims one is “faster”.

Choose the DL365 Gen11 if…

  • Cores, fully populated: 320 against 288 on the SR630 V4
  • Drive bays: 20 against 16 on the SR630 V4
  • Largest power supply: 2,200 W against 2,000 W on the SR630 V4
  • Two EPYC sockets in one rack unit: up to 320 cores and 24 DDR5 slots (6 TB), with 160 PCIe 5.0 lanes across the pair.

Choose the SR630 V4 if…

  • Memory ceiling: 8 TB against 6 TB on the DL365 Gen11
  • Accelerators: Up to 3 against Up to 2 on the DL365 Gen11
  • Fastest network option: 800 GbE class against 400 GbE class on the DL365 Gen11
  • Two processor families in one 1U chassis: 27 Xeon 6 P-core SKUs of up to 86 cores, and seven 6700E E-core SKUs of up to 144 cores for thread-dense scale-out work.

07 — Questions

DL365 Gen11 vs SR630 V4, answered

Is the DL365 Gen11 or the SR630 V4 the faster server?

Neither document publishes benchmark results, so this page compares what they do state. The DL365 Gen11 lists 40 processors up to 160 cores at 400 W; the SR630 V4 lists 34 up to 144 cores at 350 W. Fully populated that is 320 cores against 288.

Which holds more memory?

The DL365 Gen11 has 24 DIMM slots and a stated ceiling of 6.0 TB. The SR630 V4 has 32 and 8 TB.

Which takes more drives?

DL365 Gen11: 20 bays across 7 documented layouts. SR630 V4: 16 across 14. Counts include rear and mid-chassis positions where the vendor documents them.

Can either take GPUs?

DL365 Gen11: up to 2 accelerators, 0 double-wide cards listed. SR630 V4: up to 3, 0 double-wide listed.

Do they share any processors?

No. The two documents list different processors, so a like-for-like processor build is not possible across these two.

Where these figures come from. DL365 Gen11: HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen11 QuickSpecs (Version 45 - 08-Sep-2026) (HPE document). SR630 V4: Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V4 Server Product Guide (September 8, 2026 (created or updated)) (Lenovo document). Each claim on this page is derived from those documents, checked page by page on the two data sheets, and carries no pricing.
